SATC Inspiration: You don’t have to dress like the same girl everyday

Carrie SATC

I’m getting giddy about seeing SATC 2 tomorrow, even though I’ve read some less-than-flattering reviews and I must admit that I’m not QUITE as excited as I was for the first movie. But I love it for the fashion as much as I love it for the girls. And I know the movie won’t disappoint in that arena.

This may seem redundant because I know every girl feels this way. But I’m inspired by many Carrie Bradshaw looks. One of the things I love most about the character is how she dressed for any occasion. She also often dressed with a theme, but always in a chic vs. a campy way. While she almost always looked fabulous, we also saw her dress down which makes her all the more real. More faves…

I loved everything about this outfit and I mentioned how much I love her flower brooch here.

Love, Love, Loved this outfit. This is the day Carrie meets Berger and she’s wearing a chic frock, fitted jacket and sky-high wedges.

I totes try to re-create this look. I have a crisp white blazer (thrifted) that I pair with a ratty old mickey mouse tee (gift from an old beau).

Love it when Carrie channels Jackie-O while she is dating the politician (she says, “found some vintage Halston”). It’s fun to dress for a part. You don’t have to dress like the same girl everyday.

She’s adventurous…swinging for her column, and she’s dressed to work-out. There’s no place for heels on a trapeze.

I love this. Sometimes, no matter how great you look, the wind can literally or metaphorically blow your skirt up.

Why not wear a white sun-dress/parasol combo for strolling outside in the sun?

SATC: Carrie’s best looks

Thanks to Instyle for sharing their favorite “Carrie” looks. They have the Top Ten, the craziest and the best of the rest.  I had to include a few of my own…

They have this one in the best of the rest category, but I have to put it in my personal top 10. I loved this look!!

The Masterfully Mixed Outfit

The sequined caftan from the playboy party! I die. Only SJP/Carrie could pull this off.

Carrie’s “Cover-Up”

SJP as Audrey Hepburn. Love this look and how beautiful she looks when she ultimately has to let Aidan down.

The Engagement Ring Necklace

I love this look, not too crazy about the sweater but more the empowerment/compromise that she and Aidan land on when she cleans out her closet to make room for him. Plus, I love the hair.
